Transcriptomic and functional analyses of the piRNA pathway in the Chagas disease vector Rhodnius prolixus
10 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
The piRNA pathway is a surveillance system that guarantees oogenesis and adult fertility in a range of animal species.The pathway is centered on PIWI clade Argonaute proteins and the associated small non-coding RNAs termed piRNAs.In this study, we set to investigate the evolutionary conservation of the piRNA pathway in the hemimetabolous insect Rhodnius prolixus.Our transcriptome profiling reveals that core...
